Just a reminder that the Dragon Slayer logo really goes for it by slaying the dragon

"The Base" is some bland and boxy buildup to what's going to be an underwater search for The Spear of Destiny. Our first step is to sneak aboard a submarine with a less than graceful approach - seems rude to include this detail at someone's memorial!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

In general, I think having multiple playable characters is one of the coolest things a game can do

Re9 comic
Grace and Leon on opposites site of a gate
Leon: Don't worry, you'll be fine
Leon: You know how to suplex a guy, right?
Grace: umm... no...
Leon: oh... but you can parry a chainsaw, yeah?
Grace: what?! no!!!
Leon, walking away concerned: "oh... well, good luck anyway"
Grace looks very sad and pathetic

GDC folks: Here's your reminder that there is a Muni train stop basically in Moscone. You can transfer to Muni at Powell if you're taking BART from the airport. You can tap your phone to pay nowadays.

Reading (and reading and reading and reading) Tom's Crossing has me convinced that not only did Mark Z. Danielewski play Elden Ring, but he tried to get Torrent onto weird outcroppings

Great game. $2 for the soundtrack alone is too good.

POV: You are solving a puzzle box in a horrible place overrun with zombies. You've already seen that pushing a button makes a needle visually point to its corresponding symbol, making it easy to deduce what each button means. But no! You are going to drag some poor girl here and make her do it.

If you're in SF for GDC, let's hang out. There is a whole city just blocks away from the Moscone!

Search Party is on Netflix now. I highly recommend watching it and not bothering trying to guess where it ends up, because you'll be wrong.

Misinformation is bad, unless it's about a thing I hate

Ah, one of the best ever, I firmly believe

And just to be clear, I find this example amusing because of the mundane real-world object chosen and then interpreted by the rules of the game. Half the game is "pickups have a cost," just as firing a gun does. It's cool!

Funniest thing about inventory management in Requiem (which I love for its resoluteness) is when it prevents you from picking up a pencil that just needs to be carried to and used elsewhere in the same room. It does not need to be formally stored, Grace! Don't you write reports at your job??

Lara hanging off a cliff while a rival, Pierre, stand above her and taunts her. "An unfortunate situation, no?"

Lara hanging off a cliff while a rival, Pierre, stand above her and taunts her. "An unfortunate situation, no?"

Though it's the second time we've visited one, this "Colosseum" is distinctly roman, what with its lions and undead gladiators (how are the lions still alive?) and statues come to life. And, as before, things do not end well for Lara's rival grave robber, Pierre.

For every year that passes without a Bloodborne remaster, the technical issues of the PS4 game become twice as bad in retrospect. If you play it in 2027, the frame pacing will instantly kill you
